This weekend consists of Friday Night, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. Probably not the best weekend to have a long weekend, but I will take on the challenge. Day 1 - 8/7, Day 1 - again - 8/28. Sober 18/21 days. Sober almost 3 days. I don't want to be super harsh on myself, but I …
Saving Mr. Banks
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2140373/ I had to look up when this movie came out. 2013. I'm not sure the first time I watched this movie, but I love Mary Poppins so it had to be fairly shortly after the movie came out. I remember I watched it by myself the first time (possibly every time)... drinking... and bawled …
Inspiration #5
ME! I just re-read my own 14 blog posts and feel RE-inspired... Remembered the bad choices that I've highlighted and the bad choices that some of the references bring to mind. Remembered the good sleep I've been getting. Remembered all 16 days of silencing that bratty child. Remembered the stress being more manageable.Remembered feeling a …
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F$%&
https://markmanson.net/not-giving-a-fuck "The point is, most of us struggle throughout our lives by giving too many fucks in situations where fucks do not deserve to be given. We give a fuck about the rude gas station attendant who gave us too many nickels. We give a fuck when a show we liked was canceled on TV. …
Accountability
I was going to say What the Heck #2, but that is not accountable. On Friday I was going to drive.... and I should have. My husband started a fire with the neighbor - they do this all the time. I miss the fires, most of the time, because I am working. I miss the …
What the heck
When I was thinking about this post yesterday I had a list of specific what the hecks... now I have to add a worse one.... I drank four drinks of a beer yesterday. Wasn't expecting to write that. My original what the hecks were I'm still bloated -- everyone seems to lose this in their …
Inspiration #4
I found another Canadian! I have gotten to the part in Jean's Blog - Unpickled - that she is at 2 years. I wanted to find someone that was closer to my timeframe again and I found Lose 'da Booze: https://losedabooze.wordpress.com/ Already I'm back "with a friend" at the beginning of the journey. https://losedabooze.wordpress.com/2013/05/15/day-2-of-my-100-day-challenge/ "I …
Day 13
Made it through a second weekend! This weekend consisted of a Friday night of driving (about 8 hours), a full day of family time Saturday, and a lazier day on Sunday. Friday I knew right away I would need to get extra income so I started driving right away after work and did that from …
Week One
7 days! I want to celebrate... with a drink LOL UGH - but honestly- the nagging is dissipating (the wee-st bit). I'm trying to be present. I feel a bit more happy... A bit more engaged.. A bit less stressed. I'm trying to notice these moments. I'm not sure the last time I did not …
A bit scared each day
Why is it that I'm okay with disappointing myself but not others? I work SO hard at work. I hate to let anyone down. I want perfection. I do not give that to myself... my family. Why is this? I let myself fall apart. It used to be that I would let myself fall part …
I've turned 30.
